@helenfrances, Hi there, I just wanted to add emphasis to your comment about coming back to the breath when you need support. There are guided meditations focusing on the breath. The purpose is to clear your mind of things that shouldn't be there and give your brain a break. Just breathe. Here's another mindfulness message. Breathing in, I am aware that I am breathing in. Breathing out, I am aware I am breathing out. Breathing in, I feel the cool air going in my nostrils. Breathing out, I feel the warm air coming out my nostrils. These always help me especially when I start with 10 breaths counting IN 2,3,4 and then Out 2, 3, 4. Hope these suggestions work for you.
May you be safe and protected.
Chris
